Study Notes
Stress and Coping (Ch 4) + Emotion
- Emotion is defined by necessary and sufficient features or through prototypes.
- Prototype approach uses clear examples, or prototypes, as benchmarks for concepts that lack specific attributes.
- Classical view of emotion defines emotion as a bodily change from physical perception followed by an experience.
- Emotion is a complex process with neurological, physical, and subjective (felt) aspects.
- Basic emotions in classic texts are Joy, Anger, and Fear.
- Several theories, including the Schachter-Singer theory, propose different pathways from an event to a bodily change to a labeled emotion.
How to Understand Everyday Concepts
- Classical definition: concepts are precisely defined by a set of necessary and sufficient features.
- Prototype approach: Concepts are organized around clearest examples (prototypes).
- Instances vary in their degree of "family resemblance" to the prototype.
- An example: "fruit" has different kinds of fruit but all share a core set of features
What Is an Emotion?
- James (1884) views emotion as bodily changes which trigger an experience that corresponds to the changes.
- Emotion is a complex process with biological (neurophysiological), expressive, and phenomenological (subjective feelings) components..
- Watson (1919): emotion is identified as a mental event.
- Izard (1972): emphasizes that emotion consists of interrelated neurophysiological, motor-expressive, and phenomenological dimensions.
- Tomkins (1979): emphasizes the role of facial movements in emotion.
Basic Emotions in the Chinese Case
- Chinese texts describe "7 emotions and 6 desires".
- Studies show overlap between Joy, Anger, and Fear across various Chinese dictionaries and classifications.
How to Study the Concept of Emotions
- Concepts may be "fuzzy."
- Categories are defined by prototypes and central features, lacking sharp boundaries.
- Membership is a matter of degree.
Emotion Hierarchy (Theoretical Framework)
- Subordinate level: specific emotions (e.g., pleased, content, terrified, worried)
- Basic/middle level: more general emotions (e.g., Joy, Fear, Sadness)
- Superordinate level: Emotion
Gender and Cognitive Differences
- Males and females have minimal differences in most cognitive areas except for slight differences in spatial and mathematical abilities
- Differences are small but also show differences in emotional expressions, social behaviors, and perceptions of gender roles
- Women tend to report more emotions, men tend to display less
- Females generally score better than males in emotional intelligence but do not generally differ in general intelligence.
Gender Differences and Roles
- Gender roles are socially constructed expectations about how males and females should behave.
- Societal pressures can shape gender perceptions and affect personality traits.
- Pressure to adhere to gender roles can also affect self-esteem and fulfillment
Gender Identity vs. Gender Assignment
- Gender identity is one's internal sense of being male, female, or both.
- Gender identity is often not congruent with assigned sex at birth, as seen in transgender identities
- This can drive efforts toward affirming one’s true sense of self.
Coping with Stress
- Everyday coping mechanisms include considering attribution styles (internal vs. external), explaining behaviors, and cultural differences in perspective.
- Coping styles include rational and non-rational ways of thinking.
- Other forms of coping include problem solving, managing emotions, and substance abuse which isn't the healthiest.
Psychotherapy
- Psychotherapy is a structured therapeutic interaction between a therapist and client that aims to address mental health concerns or life challenges such as achieving greater personal wellbeing and coping with difficult circumstances in life.
- Approaches vary, from traditionally psychoanalytic therapy to modern therapy such as humanistic therapies and cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Client-Centered Therapy
- This approach emphasizes the client's role in therapy and employs active listening and showing empathy to guide the client towards self-understanding and self-acceptance.
- Key principles of this approach include unconditional positive regard, empathetic understanding, and genuineness.
Group, Couple, and Family Therapy
- Group therapy: uses support from a community to foster growth and resolution for those who share similar circumstances.
- Couple therapy: helps couples resolve conflict and improve communication.
- Family therapy: views families as a system where each member influences the others.
Empirically Supported Treatments (ESTs)
- Evidence-based therapies show strong efficacy for specific disorders, such as cognitive and behavioral therapies for anxiety and depression
- Treatments are rigorously tested to ensure efficacy and are tailored to the needs of each individual client.
